^^ That does sound interesting. The link doesn't quite work, though (the closing parenthesis isn't included).
This one should work.

<smacks own forehead!> Gah! The Borg are zombies! Well, until they were ruined with the introduction of the queen. |
Oh don't tell me that just occurred to you!  And yeah, the fact that the Borg are zombies is why the queen thing sucks. |
The Borg are definitely in the tradition of zombies, but that's not what ruined them. They were originally presented as a hive mind, so a queen makes sense. What ruined them was overusing them, weakening them, straying from the concept and, in the case of
First Contact, bad writing.
